Nothing Chats is bringing iMessage to Android with this tech
Android customers can not use iMessage as a result of Apple would not need to break its iPhone-exclusivity however different corporations now have an answer.
Google has tried the whole lot to get Apple to supply iMessage on Android and we don’t see that taking place anytime quickly. So, now it’s as much as different manufacturers to make this right into a actuality and that firm is Carl Pei’s Nothing.
That’s proper, the model has introduced its new messaging app known as Nothing Chats which is able to allow you to swap to the blue aspect, which is Google’s tackle iMessage. Nothing Chats will probably be coming to the Phone 2 customers within the coming days and Pei says that every one customers have the fitting to make use of any app they need. So how is Nothing doing this?
It has developed the app in partnership with Sunbird which already has the tech which permits iMessage to run on non-Apple gadgets. The developer has run its personal app on the Play Store since its launch in 2022 and already obtained 10,000 downloads. But if you could use iMessage on the Phone 2 you’ll need to sign up utilizing your Apple ID which could invite some considerations with Apple however a minimum of the messages stay safe behind finish-to-finish encryption which can be pivotal to adjust to the privateness guidelines of Sunbird.
Nothing says that within the beta avatar, Nothing Chats will provide options like single messaging, group chats, reside typing indicator for the opposite particular person, full-res media sharing and voice notes. However, different choices like learn receipts and message reactions/replies will probably be coming quickly.
The firm is bringing this characteristic to international locations just like the US the place the battle between iMessage and RCS Messages have been going for years. We’re undecided if Nothing has any plan to deliver the app to Phone 1 customers however these utilizing the Phone 2 can check out the Chats app from November 17 and obtain it through the Play Store. iMessage is just not quite common for customers in India, so we don’t see the corporate speaking in regards to the characteristic for customers within the nation.
